Amitabh Bachchan Loses Cool At Pap For Recording Him Outside His Mumbai Residence

July 20, 2025: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan recently lost his fury with a paparazzo who tried to record him as he left his Mumbai home in a rare public outburst. Since then, a video of the incident has appeared online, in which the actor is seen adamantly requesting that the photographer cease filming.

The 81-year-old actor can be seen wearing an off-white shawl and his trademark white kurta-pyjama in the video. But as he saw the camera focused on him, his normally composed expression changed to one of obvious annoyance.

“Aye, band karo, video mat nikalo!” You can hear Bachchan saying, obviously irritated.

The exact date and time of the video have not been confirmed, but the footage has gone viral, especially since the veteran actor is rarely seen reacting strongly in public. Known for his humility, Big B often greets fans and media with folded hands and a smile, especially during his weekly Sunday meet-and-greet ritual outside his home, Jalsa.

Why the Reaction Came as a Surprise

Amitabh Bachchan has always maintained a respectful relationship with both his fans and the media. This unexpected outburst took many by surprise, as he is generally accompanied by tight security and seen as a model of composure. The reason for his reaction remains unclear, but it seems to have struck a nerve with netizens who are divided on whether the media crossed a line or if the actor’s response was justified.

Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Bachchan will next appear in Kalki 2898 AD Part 2, reprising his powerful role as Ashwatthama. The mythological sci-fi epic also stars Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, and is one of the most anticipated sequels in Indian cinema.He is also a part of the upcoming Brahmastra Part Two, though updates on the film’s production timeline remain scarce. In addition, the actor will be seen in Section 84, a courtroom drama co-starring Nimrat Kaur, Diana Penty, and Abhishek Banerjee.
